Oct 30, V7N- In her largest rally to date, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris spoke to a crowd of over 75,000 in Washington, warning that her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, seeks "unchecked power." Harris emphasized Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol riots, calling him "unstable, obsessed with revenge, and out for unchecked power." She described the upcoming election on November 5 as pivotal for American democracy, with 53 million early votes already cast.

Harris's support among voters has waned, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing a narrow 44% to 43% lead over Trump. At the rally, Harris urged unity, calling on Americans to "lock arms" and move past division. The crowd included a diverse demographic, many expressing excitement for Harris as a potential first female president.

Meanwhile, Trump held a rally in Florida, avoiding comments on controversial statements made by allies at a recent New York rally where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe had disparaged Puerto Rico, Black Americans, and Latinos. Trump described the event as a "lovefest," despite backlash. President Joe Biden condemned the remarks, calling them "unconscionable," and reaffirmed his support for Latino communities.

Trump continued his campaign in Pennsylvania, a battleground state with a significant Puerto Rican population, where he criticized the European Union on trade and asked voters if they felt better off than four years ago. Harris and Trump remain sharply divided on major issues, including NATO, abortion, and trade policies.
